High-Resolution Remote Sensing Imagery for the Recognition of Traditional Villages

Traditional Chinese villages, vital carriers of traditional culture, have faced significant alterations due to urbanization in recent years, urgently necessitating artificial intelligence data updates. This study integrates high spatial resolution remote sensing imagery with deep learning techniques, proposing a novel method for identifying rooftops of traditional Chinese village buildings using high-definition remote sensing images. Using 0.54 m spatial resolution imagery of traditional village areas as the data source, this method analyzes the geometric and spectral image characteristics of village building rooftops. It constructs a deep learning feature sample library tailored to the target types. Employing a semantically enhanced version of the improved Mask R-CNN (Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network) for building recognition, the study conducts experiments on localized imagery from different regions. The results demonstrated that the modified Mask R-CNN effectively identifies traditional village building rooftops, achieving an of 0.7520 and an of 0.7400. It improves the current problem of misidentification and missed detection caused by feature heterogeneity. This method offers a viable and effective approach for industrialized data monitoring of traditional villages, contributing to their sustainable development.

Coupling feature extraction method of resting state EEG Signals from amnestic mild cognitive impairment with type 2 diabetes mellitus based on weight permutation conditional mutual information.

This study aimed to find a good coupling feature extraction method to effectively analyze resting state EEG signals (rsEEG) of amnestic mild cognitive impairment(aMCI) with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and normal control (NC) with T2DM. A method of EEG signal coupling feature extraction based on weight permutation conditional mutual information (WPCMI) was proposed in this research. With the WPCMI method, coupling feature strength of two time series in Alpha1, Alpha2, Beta1, Beta2 and Gamma bands for aMCI with T2DM and NC with T2DM could be extracted respectively. Then selected three frequency bands coupling feature matrix with the help of multi-spectral image transformation method to map it as spectral image characteristics. And finally classified these characteristics through the convolution neural network method(CNN). For aMCI with T2DM and NC with T2DM, the highest classification accuracy of 96%, 95%, 95% could be achieved respectively in the combination of three frequency bands (Alpha1, Alpha2, Gamma), (Beta1, Beta2 and Gamma) and (Alpha2, Beta1, Beta2). This WPCMI method highlighted the coupling dynamic characteristics of EEG signals, and its classification performance was better than all previous methods in aMCI with T2DM diagnosis field. WPCMI method could be used as an effective biomarker to distinguish EEG signals of aMCI with T2DM and NC with T2DM. The coupling feature extraction method used in this paper provided a new perspective for the EEG analysis of aMCI with T2DM.

<p>Objective: To obtain the characteristics analysis results of aronia melanocarpa leaves under saline alkali stress state and improve yield and quality of aronia melanocarpa. Methods: Using hyper spectral imaging system to obtain hyper spectral images of aronia melanocarpa leaves under saline alkali stress. The clear hyper spectral image is obtained by the conversion of reflectance, spectral envelope removal, and spectral denoising, and final hyper spectral image is obtained by the normalization of a clearer hyper spectral image. Results: Spectral information of aronia melanocarpa leaves under slight saline alkali stress: in the visible band, leaf reflectance is lower than leaf nutrient rich stress condition; in the near infrared band, the nutrient rich leaves was significantly higher than that of stress leaves. Spectral information of leaves under moderate saline alkali stress: spectral reflectance of different lesion spots for a same leaf in 550-680nm band is: severe > moderate > slight > normal, in the near infrared band is on the contrary; spectral reflectance for different lesion grades in 550-680 nm, severe lesion leaves have highest reflectance, and normal leaves have the lowest reflectance. Under severe saline alkali stress, the leaf spectral information is: there is no significant difference in leaf spectral reflectance between the attachment aphid and the damaged leaf, but the difference is obvious for normal leaves in the band of 450-500 nm, 560-680 nm and 750-900 nm. Comparative results analysis for the three of saline alkali stress degree is: the near infrared band of 560-680 nm and the visible band of 780-900 nm is the sensitive band for the diagnosis of three kinds of stress; slight saline alkali stress has the most significant differences at 550 nm, and 780-900 nm; severe saline alkali stress has at 680 nm and 780-900 nm. Conclusion: The proposed method can analyze hyper spectral image characteristics of aronia melanocarpa leaves under different saline alkali stress the condition of is a kind of plant leaves, which is an efficient method for the analysis of characteristics of plant leaves under saline alkali stress.</p>

Hyperspectral imaging fluorescence excitation scanning spectral characteristics of remodeled mouse arteries.

Coronary artery disease (CAD), or atherosclerosis, is responsible for nearly a third of all American deaths annually. Detection of plaques and differentiation of plaque stage remains a complicating factor for treatment. Classification of plaque before significant blockage or rupture could inform clinical decisions and prevent mortality. Current detection methods are either nonspecific, slow, or require the use of potentially harmful contrast agents. Recent advances in hyperspectral imaging could be used to detect changes in the autofluorescence of arteries associated with vessel remodeling and subsequent plaque formation and could detect and classify existing lesions. Here, we present data comparing spectral image characteristics of a mouse model designed to undergo vessel remodeling. C57Bl/6 mice underwent ligation of three of four caudal branches of the left common carotid artery (left external carotid, internal carotid, and occipital artery) with the superior thyroid artery left intact under IACUC approved protocol. Vessels were harvested at a variety of timepoints to compare degrees of remodeling, including 4 weeks and 5 months post-surgery. Immediately following harvest, vessels were prepared by longitudinal opening to expose the luminal surface to a 20X objective. A custom inverted microscope (TE-2000, Nikon Instruments) with a Xe arc lamp and thin film tunable filter arrary (Versachrome, Semrock, Inc.) were used to achieve spectral imaging. Excitation scans utilized wavelengths between 340 nm and 550 nm in 5 nm increments. Hyperspectral data were generated and analyzed with custom Matlab scripts and visualized in ENVI. Preliminary data suggest consistent spectral features associated with control and remodeled vessels.

Context-adaptive pansharpening algorithm for high-resolution satellite imagery

Pansharpening algorithms are important methods for overcoming the technical limitations of satellite sensors. However, most approaches to pansharpening have tended either to distort the spectral characteristics of the original multispectral image or reduce the visual sharpness of the panchromatic image. In this paper, we propose a pansharpening algorithm that uses both a global and a local context-adaptive parameter based on component substitution. The purpose of this algorithm is to produce fused images with spectral information similar to that of multispectral data while preserving spatial sharpness better than other algorithms such as the Gram–Schmidt algorithm, Additive Wavelet Luminance Proportional algorithm, and algorithms developed in our previous work. The proposed parameter is calculated using the spatial and spectral characteristics of an image. It is derived from a spatial correlation between each multispectral band and adjusted-intensity image based on Laplacian filtering and statistical ratios, and the parameter is subsequently adaptively adjusted using image entropy to optimize the fusion quality in terms of the sensor and image characteristics. An experiment using IKONOS-2, QuickBird-2, and Geoeye-1 imagery demonstrated that a global context-adaptive parameter model is effective for spatial enhancement and that a local context-adaptive model is useful for image visualization and spectral information preservation.

Color Constancy Using Natural Image Statistics and Scene Semantics

Existing color constancy methods are all based on specific assumptions such as the spatial and spectral characteristics of images. As a consequence, no algorithm can be considered as universal. However, with the large variety of available methods, the question is how to select the method that performs best for a specific image. To achieve selection and combining of color constancy algorithms, in this paper natural image statistics are used to identify the most important characteristics of color images. Then, based on these image characteristics, the proper color constancy algorithm (or best combination of algorithms) is selected for a specific image. To capture the image characteristics, the Weibull parameterization (e.g., grain size and contrast) is used. It is shown that the Weibull parameterization is related to the image attributes to which the used color constancy methods are sensitive. An MoG-classifier is used to learn the correlation and weighting between the Weibull-parameters and the image attributes (number of edges, amount of texture, and SNR). The output of the classifier is the selection of the best performing color constancy method for a certain image. Experimental results show a large improvement over state-of-the-art single algorithms. On a data set consisting of more than 11,000 images, an increase in color constancy performance up to 20 percent (median angular error) can be obtained compared to the best-performing single algorithm. Further, it is shown that for certain scene categories, one specific color constancy algorithm can be used instead of the classifier considering several algorithms.

Texture-based medical image classification of computed tomography images using MRCSF

Texture classification is a trendy and a catchy technology in the field of texture analysis. It finds its applications in various fields like medical image classification, computer vision, remote sensing, machine vision, agricultural field and many more. Our main focus is on medical images which is a kind of natural texture. The basic idea of the paper is to find out the abnormalities of a patient's abdomen and more particularly in organs such as kidney, liver and spleen. It is found out by analysis and classifying the CT scan images of a patient's abdomen. The CT scan images are collected from various sources such as internet, hospitals, etc. The classification is done by extracting the statistical and spectral characteristics of images and by fixing the threshold. The classification results show whether the part of the patient is normal or abnormal. It is a new technology for automation of medical image classification.
